Any of this sound familiar? "I want to write but can't find the time..I'll finish this novel someday...the laundry is more important than writing...coffee and strangers makes me write SO much better." Okay so maybe not that last one but wouldn't it be great if it were true? The concept for this meetup is simple: We set a time, we get together, and we write. We make a promise to ourselves to haul the literary rock up and over the hill, and then let the fellowship of writers set it to rolling. May …

This is an introductory workshop for any person interested in writing for TV (and Film) with a particular focus on strategies that might help to break-in, and helping develop an appreciation for what it can take to foster a career as a screenwriter. A little about me: I'm a native of Miami, born and raised. I went to the University of Florida and received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and later, went to MIT's Sloan School of Management, receiving a MBA. I went on to lose a bu …

The Pen & Paper Society is a collection of writers that get together on a regular basis to in hopes to the words out on paper (or laptop, computer, whatever). The majority of the meetings will consist of writing sessions.  Group members will meetup a couple of twice a month to engage in a group writing session. I have done this thing sort of thing before during National Novel Writing Month and I find it a great way to motivate me to write.  Not only is it motivating but it is a great why to me …

This is a moderated group that focuses on the art and craft of screenwriting. Stepping away from the common "rules" approach (tought by most schools and books), this meetup concentrates on developing and honing professional level writing tools such as writing in cinematic conflict, conceptual and intuitive writing. So if you believe that there's more to writing at a professional level than following rules such as on page 75 someone needs to die, or the inciting incident must happen on page 17, t …

I know, there are too many Writer's Work Shops already but because I am moving to Miami this month I perused what's out there and although there are many great and appealing Writer's groups, I just didn't quite find a match for me. Having belonged to various Writer's Groups over the years one in particular still lingers in my mind. It was conducted by Paul Gillette who wrote "Play Misty For Me" that helped launch Clint Eastwood's career. What I liked about Paul's Group was the following. It wo …

Can Anyone Be Funny? Can you learn to be funny or is it something you’re born with? Robin Williams said: “It’s about 50/50.” (Half innate talent and half learned skill.) So, if you want to be a stand-up comedian, it helps to have an innate sense of what’s funny, a natural flair for seeing the humor in everyday life and funny parents. But if you just want to add a little more fun and laughter to your daily life, there is a science to humor (as well as an art) and that’s what you’re going to lea …

This group is for Singer/Musician/Songwriters who want to stay in this incredibly, creatively rewarding business, and have a better chance to perform their songs in front of audiences, ha …
